  6 Days
  Kidder Creek
  9th–12th Grade
Guys & Gals
Summer 2024
Led by experienced wranglers and passionate counselors, campers develop confidence in horsemanship and receive instruction in the arena, vaulting, horse science and go on trail rides. Each Advanced Rider camper has the opportunity to expand their horsemanship knowledge with additional hands-on lessons from the wranglers. This additional knowledge will prove helpful when transitioning to the Wrangler-in-Training Program. Evenings are filled with times of worship, sharing and thought provoking teachings that tie loving horses to God’s love for us.
Register for Summer 2024 starting November 15th!
